AleksandertheDraconian I think this is one of the best thrillers i've ever seen, really this movie has shock suspense scenes, is one of those movies where you don't know what is going to happen in the next scene.Well the movie started as a low budget movie that makes you think that it won't be good, but then it starts with the crazy obsession of the Nanny with her boss, and then the boss' daughter knows what she is planning but nobody trust her, because everybody is trapped with the charm of the nanny, and then Nanny is taking out all the obstacles in her way to get the doctor's love.It is a very frightening movie, i liked it very much, i really think that a 4.6 is not a good rating for this excellent movie.

Nicholas Rhodes I cannot be totally objective about this film as I have a soft spot for the lovely Susan Blakely who must have one of the most sincere faces on this earth ! This being the case, any film starring her will be a pleasure to watch for me ! That apart, I did find the film pretty good, I had already seen the film "The Perfect Tenant" which was made by the same director ( and also starred Tracy Nelson in the role of a mentally unsound woman ), Now as to Tracy Nelson herself, she indeed plays a very worrying and frightening character, you do actually forget she is acting and actually believe her to be the part she is playing. This is really quite frightening as her moves are psychotic and unpredictable. She commits brutal murder without really realizing what she is doing. She is living in a fantasy world and trying to act it out in real life. Not a film to be watched alone or late at night ! I am also very keen on the actor Bruce Boxleitner whom I have seen in several films previously. I have seen other readers compare this film to "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" with Jessica Lange. I did enjoy that but found this film far more frightening and anguishing, notably from the performance given by Tracy Nelson. I managed to find it on DVD in the USA and certainly didn't regret my purchase !

moviewiz-4 Fantastic movie, pity if the story can be extended longer and this will make it more interesting.Some same plot with other movie except this one glues me to the seat. It happen to be premiere on HBO.By the way, the beginning and ending are perfect, that is what i like in a movie.

cLoNe Just like in THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE, the movie centers on a psycho nanny who'd do anything to keep her secret. And as people get suspicious, the bodycount begins and the walls close on the psycho nanny, leading to the invertible final climax.But here the motivation is different: it's not revenge, it's just pure madness and the main character's need to be loved "just like in the books".This movie never soars to incredible heights of suspense or originality, but it keeps the viewer interested, mostly due to the superb cast.It's definitely worth viewing. I liked it as a little snack. Not much more.
